― Daisy Coble, Purdue ReviewerIt is very educating... cute rhymes, pictures, and cover. So cute!
― Child ReviewerMy 7 yo and 5 yo sons loved it!I wish there were more book like this for kids. It used to feel like everything was always about growing up to be doctors, firefighters, veterinarians, and other “popular” jobs. I am so excited about this book! Your passion for explaining the need for smart manufacturing and connecting concepts in a fun, accessible way is such a gift.Big thumbs up from both my 7 year old daughter and my 9 year old son. They both really enjoyed the book, and my daughter said it would be a good one for her school. They both enjoyed the names of the robots throughout the book. Great work!This is the most insightful and engaging book about industrial engineering and STEM careers I've ever seen for kids. Highly recommended as a read aloud for kids in the K-3 range, maybe higher if you are including STEM projects.The rhyming text is easy to read aloud and explains terms without being overly academic. The questions embedded in the text invite readers to interact with the illustrations and have some conversations about the roles in smart manufacturing. There aren't many books that bring awareness to the critical careers and processes in manufacturing. Mike Nager manages to make it fun for kids and the adults who read it with themAs an educator for the past 25 years, I see a tremendous need for this kind of book. More students can proceed down the career path that's right for them if they are exposed to this information at an early age. I am not aware of any book like this in the field and am truly excited to be able to share this delightful and informative book with young students and families. Well done Mike Nager!
